Abstract
A scanning assembly, including: a housing, wherein a lower portion of the housing comprises an opening, and the opening can be closed by tissue to be scanned; a pressure difference generating device, disposed on the housing and used to generate an air pressure difference between the interior and the exterior of the housing, the air pressure difference providing a first pressure for the tissue to be scanned, the weight of the scanning assembly providing a second pressure for the tissue to be scanned, the tissue to be scanned being compressed under the action of a compressive force, and the compressive force comprising the first pressure and the second pressure; and an ultrasonic transducer, disposed in the housing and used to perform ultrasound scanning on the compressed tissue to be scanned.
